The number of martial artists on the third island reached several hundred. Some were waiting for people, some were forming teams, and some had just come out of Blood Demon Battlefield. They were narrating what had happened inside.
"Did you know? Mountain Splitter died in the second layer of Blood Demon Battlefield. "
"What? It can't be! Mountain Splitter is a late Astral Reaching expert. Although his Mountain Splitter Palm is a high rank earth grade palm art, the power of its mentality is extremely rare. Even peak late Astral Reaching experts don't dare to provoke him. How could he die in the second layer? "
"How could this be fake? I saw a high-ranked Blood Demon pass through his body with my own eyes, taking away all of his Blood Qi. Then, the Blood Demon turned into a pile of human skin and fell to the ground. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and ran away. That was how I managed to get out of the second floor."
"Two deaths and one life … This Blood Demon Battlefield is worthy of being one of the minor forbidden zones. Even someone as powerful as Mountain Splitter died just like that. Sigh! Treasures are not that easy to obtain. One has to risk their life for it. "
In South Rudra Region, Astral Reaching experts with mid-grade artifacts were few and far between. Everyone knew that mid-grade artifacts could be obtained in the Blood Demon Battlefield, but those who were truly determined to enter were few and far between. After all, they only had one life. If they died, they would truly die. No matter how many treasures they had, what use would it be? Generally speaking, there were three kinds of people who dared to enter the Blood Demon Battlefield. The first kind were those who possessed exceedingly high strength and didn't fear any environment. The second kind were those who were willing to take risks for the sake of increasing their strength. These kinds of people were few and far between. The last kind were those who dared to enter for the sake of vengeance.
Seriously speaking, Ye Chen belonged to both the first and the second type.
In terms of strength, apart from his slightly lacking cultivation base, he was at the peak in every aspect. All in all, his battle strength could be considered extremely powerful. Moreover, it could rise crazily at any time.
In terms of mental quality, sword artists who comprehended sword intent always had a higher mental quality than other martial artists. Ye Chen was very clear that taking risks was necessary. Without experiencing nine deaths and one life, the chances of stepping into Life and Death realm were minuscule. Life and death, these two words had too many meanings.
"The same teleportation whirlpool. Clasping Yuan martial artists would be teleported to the first layer of Blood Demon Battlefield, while Astral Reaching experts would be teleported to the second layer. This should be differentiated by aura. I wonder where I would be teleported to?"
Swish!
Taking a step forward, Ye Chen plunged into the blood-red vortex.
…
Several hundred thousand kilometers away from the Blood Demon Battlefield.
"Soul Chasing Bird is dead?" Hearing his subordinate's report, Daoist Jin Huang's expression turned ugly. A murderous aura filled his face, making him look hideous and terrifying.
Cold sweat dripped down the forehead of the Astral Reaching expert who raised the Soul Chasing Bird. He promptly said, "Sixth Elder, rest assured. When the Soul Chasing Bird died, that kid was less than ten thousand li away from the Blood Demon Battlefield. This subordinate is eighty percent certain that he went there in search of treasures."
"The Blood Demon Battlefield! Look for the treasure! " In the hands of an Astral Reaching expert, a low grade artifact will be damaged after being used for a long time. Especially in a confrontation with an expert, the chances of a low grade artifact being damaged are even higher. In this case, he must get a mid grade artifact. Otherwise, a sword artist would lose their weapon, and their battle power would be greatly reduced by at least thirty percent. However, with a mid grade artifact, not only would he not have to worry about his weapon being damaged, his attack power would also increase by thirty to forty percent. This is an irresistible temptation. "
"You've done well!" Daoist Jin Huang's mood turned for the better.
Letting out a sigh, the Astral Reaching expert who raised the Soul Chasing Bird cautiously said, "Sixth Elder, there's no time to lose. Let's enter the Blood Demon Battlefield together and kill him."
"That's natural. However, just in case, you guys assign people to guard the Bloodstone Islands. Elder Rock and I will go in." Daoist Jin Huang was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find Ye Chen after entering the Blood Demon Battlefield, so he let him slip out. As for Elder Rock, he was his assistant and had a similar cultivation base as him. With him by his side, killing Ye Chen would be as easy as flipping his hand.
"Yes!"
…
A blood-red whirlpool suddenly appeared, and a blue silhouette shot out from within. Its sharp aura was like an unsheathed sword, cutting through the void.
"Fortunately, there's no danger!"
Ye Chen had heard more than once that some people, upon entering the Blood Demon Battlefield, would be directly teleported to an area denser with blood demons. As soon as they appeared, they would be devoured cleanly by the blood demons. It was a tragic sight to behold. Therefore, when teleporting, he was already prepared to ignite his Green Lotus Zhen Yuan in an instant.
With his feet firmly planted on the ground, Ye Chen looked around, "This is the second layer of the Blood Demon Battlefield!"
Blood colored clouds, dark light, black and red mountain ranges, light red water, grass, trees, and the like. The boundless second layer of the Blood Demon Battlefield was like an extremely desolate world. It was shrouded in a stifling atmosphere and indescribable panic.
"Eh? Zhen Yuan is being suppressed a bit. "
Circulating his Zhen Yuan, Ye Chen discovered that his originally flowing Zhen Yuan was a bit sluggish. This kind of sluggishness couldn't be discovered without careful observation. Only Ye Chen, who had a powerful soul power, could instantly discover that something was wrong. Others didn't notice anything at first.
Ye Chen's brows slightly creased. Don't look down on this little bit of suppression. It might not have any effect on you at your peak, but once you're exhausted, this little bit of suppression would be like the last straw on a camel's back. It was enough to crush you.
"Seems like this world is indeed suitable for blood demons to live in. It won't be easy for human martial artists to survive here."
Tightening the Star Scar Sword on his waist, Ye Chen picked a direction and walked.
He was currently in a mound. Walking out of the mound, he saw a black and red stone ridge. After walking a few steps, Ye Chen saw a dried up human skin. An eerie aura lingered on it, as if a soul was crying.
"This is a good place. In this kind of eerie and frightening environment, my will would definitely be tempered. The stronger the will, the more powerful my sword intent would be. It would be inextinguishable."
Turning a blind eye to his surroundings, Ye Chen straightened his back and walked forward step by step.
Swish!
A blood color suddenly seeped out from the rocks on the side. A blood light with distorted facial features darted out, sweeping towards Ye Chen who was right in front of it.
"Break!"
This was only a mid-rank blood demon, which was equivalent to a Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist. Ye Chen didn't take out his sword. Instead, he clenched his right hand into a fist and punched out with the Five Mountain Condensing Form.
Peng!
The air vibrated. The Five Mountain Godly Fist's momentum was extremely heavy. As the fist punched out, the air became sticky like water, restricting the speed of the mid-rank blood demon. It was immediately crushed into pieces by the fist power, exploding with a bang and filling the air with a blood mist.
"This blood demon is really strange. It doesn't have a concrete body, but it can hide inside rocks and other objects. Its aura concealing ability is quite high."
After killing a mid-rank blood demon, Ye Chen didn't stop. His soul power spread out like a net, sensing the aura ripples of treasures.
The stone ridge was huge, much bigger than ordinary large mountain ranges. After an hour, Ye Chen finally sensed a trace of treasure aura ripples. However, there were also Astral Reaching experts' Zhen Yuan ripples. The ripples were rather chaotic, probably due to an intense battle.
"Let's go take a look!"
Circulating Green Lotus Zhen Yuan, Ye Chen instantly turned into a beam of light. His speed rapidly soared, soon reaching two times the speed of sound.
In ten blinks of an eye, Ye Chen landed on a low mountain peak.
Looking down, he saw two Astral Reaching experts teaming up against a high-rank blood demon. Qi energies shot out in all directions, flattening the nearby rocks and earth.
"A man and a woman, a high-rank blood demon, and a mid-grade artifact beside it." Ye Chen thought of countless possibilities. One of them was that these two Astral Reaching experts had sensed the aura ripples of treasures and arrived here, only to be targeted by a high-rank blood demon.
The man was at the peak of mid Astral Reaching realm, while the woman was at mid Astral Reaching realm. Moreover, this high-rank blood demon couldn't be considered a peak one. It couldn't do anything to them for the time being.
"Brother Liao, there's someone up there." The female Astral Reaching expert shot a glance at Ye Chen's location and said with a frown.
The male Astral Reaching expert forced back the high-rank blood demon with a blade strike, then said, "Don't mind him. This high-rank blood demon is troublesome. Don't let it approach."
"En!"
The pressure on the two increased greatly. Those who chose to enter the Blood Demon Battlefield weren't good people. Sometimes, the threat from human experts was even more frightening than high-rank blood demons. At least, everyone knew that high-rank blood demons were enemies, while human experts could turn friends into enemies in an instant.
The number of human experts who had died at the hands of the two was not few. However, they couldn't free themselves at the moment.
Swish!
All of a sudden …
The high-rank blood demon abandoned its fight with the two and shot in Ye Chen's direction. In its opinion, Ye Chen's Zhen Yuan ripples were clearly weaker than the two's. He should be easy to deal with.
The man and the woman who picked up the mid-grade artifact exchanged a glance. They were husband and wife, and rarely had a falling out. They were no exception. At this moment, the two had the same thought. With Ye Chen's death, the storage ring would belong to them. They were well aware of how frightening high-rank blood demons were.
On the low mountain peak, Ye Chen sneered.
"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've tasted the flesh and blood of human experts."
The high-rank blood demon turned into a beam of crimson blood light and pierced forward. Its speed was much faster than a mid Astral Reaching expert.
When the two were ten meters apart, Ye Chen's sword left its sheath.
The blue sword light was engraved with a sky-opening lotus as it cleaved apart the high-rank blood demon.
"What? So powerful!"
Not only were the two startled, but the high-rank blood demon was even more astonished. Its two halves quickly wriggled, continuing to attack Ye Chen from the left and right.
Chi Chi Chi Chi …
Countless sword lights crisscrossed, forming a sword net. The moment the blood demon's two blood lights came into contact, they were shattered into pieces. Their intelligence scattered and they quickly disappeared.
"Not good! Run! This person is an expert!" The man pulled the woman's hand and fled into the distance, fearing that Ye Chen would catch up and kill them.
Ye Chen faintly smiled. If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't kill. He could understand the two's actions. In the Blood Demon Battlefield, everyone was extremely vigilant. Those who weren't vigilant had long since become nourishment for the blood demons.
